The Home Energy Assistance Target (HEAT) program is Utah’s version of the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). It is funded 100% by the Federal Government through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HEAT provides winter utility payment assistance to low-income households, targeting those who are truly vulnerable - the lowest-income households with the highest heating costs: the disabled, the elderly, and families with preschool-age children. A family does not need to receive other public assistance to qualify for HEAT. Eligibility is determined by the following: *Total household income at or below 150% of the federal poverty level. *Household is considered “vulnerable” due to all their costs. *The household has at least one person who is a U.S. citizen or immigrant with acceptable documentation. Families can apply for assistance one of two ways: *Call and make an appointment: Salt Lake County - 801-468-0221 Tooele County - 435-882-1278 Duchesne County - 435-722-5218 *Go to jobs.utah.gov/housing/seal/heat.html. Follow the instructions to print, fill out, and mail in your application.
